Chapter 123 - Evolution (1/2)

After the man had eliminated the hideous spirit with the lightning cage without much difficulty, the cage started to break off into many parts upon receiving his command.

An array of Iridescent colours were being emitted by the various metallic bars of different shapes and sizes. They started to deform as they took on various forms.

Some of them were curving inwards, some remained the same as previously while some expanded in length as they started to piece back together, one at a time.. Soon, a cube golden in colour appeared as it returned to the hands of the mysterious man.

The cube floated in the air as it rotated slowly at a 45° angle, a golden beam of light shining down on it from above which added on to its royal trait.

There was an image on each side of the cube And Nightin was only able to catch a glimpse of the first image before the man kept it away.

”I am sorry, but just who are you?” Nightin asked hesitantly, but his desire for an answer was just too obvious.

”I have told you, you will learn about my identity the day you become a Great Saint.” The man explained then continued ”You are too weak right now, knowing too much will only bring you disaster.”

”Wait! Just tell me why you helped me out at the very least!” Nightin hurriedly said as he chased after the man who had left him hanging. It is him, father, I will wait for you. Nightin knew it, but he still acted like a fool and did not expose his father's lies.

”It was me who led them to you, I am only trying to cover up for my mistakes by helping you out, don't misunderstand my intentions.” The man said as he left without leaving anything behind.

”Father, I will wait for you to reunite with me.”

Looking at the black pearl ahead..

When the man left, pain actually covered his face as he held back his tears and sniffed, he can't afford to waste time just because he found his son, not until he finally eliminates all of them.

In the cave, Dark Fang arrived at the area where Nightin's aura was last detected, but no signs of him ever being here could be found.

”Young master! Where are you?!” Dark Fang shouted, receiving an answer from his own echo into of Nightin's voice.

”Young master! Where are you?!” Dark Fang attempted to call out for Nightin, but it was an futile effort as the replying party was still his echos.

After a few more times of not receiving the wanted answer, Dark Fang looked around the cave.

He started to pace around back and forth, making a few turns to explore around the cave for any traces of Nightin, he even went to explore areas which he has never ventured into as well, but the sudden sound of flowing water captured his attention.

Turning towards the rushing flow of water by following its sound, he soon realised that there was an area in this cave unknown to him.

The usual rocky ground he is familiar with, the sound of dripping water which was common as well, the rocks were evenly smooth for some reason as per usual...

Could young master be in there? Dark Fang asked himself when he saw the dent on one of the cave walls and used strength to push it open.
